Quirinus
In Roman mythology and religion, Quirinus ( ; (ラテン語:Quirīnus), (:kʷɪˈriːnʊs)) is an early god of the Roman state. In Augustan Rome, ''Quirinus'' was also an epithet of Janus, as ''Janus Quirinus''.〔In the prayer of the fetiales quoted by Livy (I.32.10); Macrobius (''Sat.'' I.9.15);〕 His name may be derived from the Sabine word ''quiris'' "spear." ==Etymology== Quirinus is probably an adjective meaning "wielder of the spear" (Quiris, cf. Janus Quirinus). Other suggested etymologies are: (i) from the Sabine town Cures; (2) from curia, i.e. he was the god of the Roman state as represented by the thirty curies, first proposed by Krestchmer. A. B. Cook (Class. Rev. xviii., p. 368) explains Quirinus as the oak-god (''quercus''), and Quirites as the men of the oaken spear.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Quirinus ).〕
